I abhor #Trump. But this is how you sustain nuclear #deterrence and push back against threats:

"I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that"

The deployment comes after Medvedev, currently serving as deputy chairman of #Russia's Security Council, warned Trump on Thursday to remember that Moscow had Soviet-era #nuclear strike capabilities of last resort.

Excellent article!!

@haui yeah, the Guarantors of the West (#UK & #USA) failed to follow their contractual obligations, making them unreliable.

In fact, their non-action enabled Putin and they can be glad #Ukraine didn't took the logical consequence of leaving the #NPT citing said failure as reasoning.

  • Already these developments send shockwaves as they make it abundantly clear that one cannot trust any #UN #VetoPower and the only #deterrence against #Russia deciding to genocide one from the map is #nuclear, which is seemingly the inconvenient reality...

If Moscow manages to negotiate the lifting of sanctions in exchange for a ceasefire, its militarised economy will quickly regain strength

Deterrence must be pan-European, treating Ukraine’s security as an integral part of the broader European defence architecture
